Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has developed and delivered comprehensive security and protection systems, known as the ‘Integrated Underwater Harbour Defence and Surveillance System' (IUHDSS). The Indian Navy, tasked with defending the subcontinent's 7,516 kilometers long coastline, raised the need for such systems.

IUHDSS is a modular system, tailor made to meet specific customer needs. The system includes an advanced command and control system, a range of coastal surveillance radars, diver-detecting sonars, electro-optical sensors, and automatic threat identification systems. The central command and control system provides automatic integration of all sensors, creating a common situational picture for port defence.

Nissim Hadas, IAI Executive VP & ELTA President said, "We are proud to deliver another project to India, our strategic partner. Many of IAI's systems play a role in India's maritime and coastal defence. Since becoming operational, this system has proved itself, and we look forward to continueing our long-term strategic cooperation with India for a bright and safe future".
